2011 Volunteers and interns! (Americorps See Below!)

We are now finding the right matches for our 2011 summer people and year long Americorps service.

Families, couples or singles wanting to settle in a holistic lifestyle that actually makes sense are encouraged to contact us. Lifesharing means you share your home and life with friends with special needs while contributing your skills to the joint economy of the community. We have young people with special needs whose future depends on your choices!Come talk to us! (Americorps is available)

Short term (3 months to a year). Join our life sharing with responsibility and on the job training in agriculture and/or crafts. Americorps Education Grants are available for 1yr commitments ($5,350 for accredited school loans or future education at an accredited institution)

Summer interns: to learn about CSA, intentional community, organic farming and gardening. Room, board and friendship provided!

We have space for day program and transition and are really flexible about arrangements! Come plan with us.

We do have a residential waiting "pool" (list) and we encourage those with special needs to contact us. An initial visit will be scheduled, for us all to find out more about each other. After this initial meeting, we schedule another visit where the individual can join us for a time, perhaps several weekends, a week, or a month depending on the situation. If we all feel that it is the best placement we invite you to join the "pool", a group of people, who will be selected as space becomes available.  Selection from the pool depends upon the balance and harmony of the household and of the community as well as consideration of the person's present situation.
